Cheika’s game plan:
“On attacking line-outs, 7 will move to 13 in anticipation of 2, who’s a 23, gifting the ball to the opposition, thereby cunningly providing the opportunity to counter-attack, in which case 14’s skills come in to play, once he has retreated from the 12 position.
15 will play at 14, and 14 will play 15, but, in defence, 15 at 12 on attack – except counter-attack, when the 12, who is a 10, is filling in for 10 who is a 12, except for set pieces.
9 will play a defensive role, except in attack.
14, the right wing, will play left wing on kick off but right wing for a 22. But 14 must move to left wing when 11, who is the left wing, is chasing a re-start from the 22.
7 will play at 8, except when 7 is playing 11 or 14, which will be between minutes 23 and 32, and when 15, who is playing 14 is actually playing 12.
On defensive set pieces, 10 will move to 12, and 7 to 3, except for line-outs.”
MC = Absolute friggn’ joke.
